i would go for the GX2. Why don't you go find some bench's and figure our what works best for the games you play?

I say this a lot, I like the 9800GX2. I'm not a fan of the 200 series except for GTX 280 which I think is pretty impressive until new driver updates are available. Quad SLi the 9800GX2 and you can play everything on max, except maybe no AA in a game like Crysis. It'll run butter smooth. If money isnt an issue, get the GTX 280 because you seem like you prefer Nvidia. Besides, you have an SLI mobo, so yeah. My vote goes to 9800GX2 Quad SLi'ing. :D

9800GX2 is probably faster, though it runs a bit hotter on stock settings.

9800gx2 is still an excellent card, it beats the gtx280 on most tests and cheaper too. :)
